I would like to attend the
hearing on Religious Intolerance in Europe, and be
able to ask the Scientology panelists a few questions. I am
concerned that the room will be filled... or that I will be
otherwise silenced by cult operatives.

It is my contention that much of
what appears to be intolerance toward religion in Europe, is in
fact, intolerance of fraud and neo-fascist tactics by the science
fiction ufo cult called Scientology. I was a staff member for
Scientology in the 60s when Hubbard decided to cloak this
fraud in religiosity... It was presented to me as a Applied
Philosophy, then in the late 60s, a cross was dragged
in the door, and we were told to wear collars... Staff considered
it a joke then, I consider it a fraud now, and an act of the most
craven cowardice - to use religious trappings
to escape government scrutiny.....

Scientology has already destroyed
CAN, The Cult Awareness Network... and is trying to destroy
FACTNet - an anti-cult electronic lending library just as it has
used every trick in the book to suppress information critical of
itself since its inception.

The only reason scientology has
grown so large has been its relentless efforts to suppress the
truth about its nature, including litigation to suppress the
media, and the endless stream of lies. ( Time Magazine spent 7.2
million defending a libel suit by the cult before it was finally
dismissed for its 1991 article The Thriving Cult of Power
and Greed") They also use litigation against ex-members to
force gag orders via bankruptcy or bribe. Scientology routinely
abuses Judicial systems around the world to suppress information.
I, Lawrence Wollersheim and Bob Penny were recently offered many
millions of dollars if we would walk away and be silent.
We chose to continue to tell we the people the truth.

I hope to have the opportunity to
address the Scientologists at this public hearing. I suspect that
OSA- their KGB style Office of Special Affairs, will try
to prevent my attendance, perhaps by packing the room with their
own... and if I attend, to prevent my speaking. If you doubt
anything I am telling you, please mention my possible attendance
to the Scientologists and their reaction will convince you of the
compelling public interest of my presence and of my speaking. If
I might be allowed to present evidence of their persecution of ex
members, they will stand humiliated for the fraud they truly are,
in spite of their deluded adherents..

Sincerely,

Arnie Lerma Ex Member of
Scientology, raided and sued in August 1995 RTC [Scientology] vs
Lerma

Note: It is unconscionable that
an organization which practices fair game tactics
toward ex-members, critics, media and anyone with the courage to
speak out, be able to even question the activities of the
Europeans in a public forum sponsored by my government.
Scientology is the worst offender - practicing persecution - by
its own hubbardian writings - persecute those who
criticize it - That Scientology has managed to get on this
committee is merely a testimony to their covert operations
department, which still uses the tactics of the outlawed
Guardians Office, even though enjoined by order of the US
District Court in US vs Mary Sue Hubbard... thus I consider them
a criminal organization. When will there be an inquiry into their
documented history of horrific practices?
